Hapoel Jerusalem secured a 88-74 victory over Hapoel Beer Sheva Dimona in their home league debut at the Pais Arena on Saturday, marking their first 2-0 start to a season in four years. Despite the win, coach Sasha Obradovic expressed dissatisfaction with the team's performance, calling it a "wake-up call" and suggesting they played with arrogance.
David Roddy led Jerusalem with 16 points, including four three-pointers, and was supported by five other players scoring in double figures. Among them were Lorenzo Brown, Dusan Miletic with 7 rebounds, and Kenny Lofton, who each added 11 points.
Obradovic, who is from the same country as player Dusan Miletic, was praised by Miletic for his coaching abilities. "He is a great coach with a resume, and it's not smart to refuse to come work with him. He improves me and I am satisfied," Miletic stated.
Miletic also commented on the game, noting the team's initial strong start followed by inconsistencies. He emphasized the need for better play if the team aims for a championship.
The victory was dampened by an injury to guard Eitan Burg, who sustained a hand injury in the final play of the game. He is scheduled for further tests on Sunday to determine the extent of his condition.
